When I was younger I loved the muppets and still do, I asked my parents for a Kermit the frog Pupet and they looked confused and said they it couldn’t be done, on Christmas Day I opened up a gift and found a Kermit the frog Pupet in a box. It was made by my dads friend who makes puppets for fun, I was so happy, I got too meet the guy and he showed me his work and gave me some old supplies for me too use, I cherish that day because that let me get into Puppet making, and your video helped me get started. The frog design was the exact same as this one here and it just brought me such good memories ☺️
If you disliked the video, your really mean, it takes time out of your day to teach people and its not easy to make puppets, one again thanks for your commitment, i dont have any supplies cause im broke but its fun to watch you put a masterpice together
My twin is neurodivergent and has a special interest in Muppets, if you talk to them for even five minutes they'll tell you all about the life of Jim Henson and everyone he ever worked with. I've been working on making them their very own puppet for our birthday, and I just know they'll love it!!!!
I'm all about reusing what I have around the house. Be it cardboard, foam from packages and laundry detergent bottles. I am hand sewer for the time being. I am still working on my very first puppet. Thank you for your very useful and helpful instructional videos!
I just got home from the Jim Henson exhibit and was so inspired that I immediately became obsessed with making my own! Thank you for sharing this knowledge, your thorough instruction is refreshing
Just watching this is already showing me things I should have done with a character I made already, and what I can do to improve him in a second go. The knees are a revelation.
I'm trying to make a third puppet. I've made 2 puppets from your vids, and they both turned out great! One was from the snoof pattern, another from one of your videos! The first one was my favorite! Thanks Adam! 💗
i am making a puppet and i am so excited! i didn't know that puppets are that fun to use. and i am watching your videos to get started! you just made my day. 😍🥰🥰😄😁
Love this! I will add this to my future builds. I am so glad you are releasing another onslaught of videos. These have been great! Lookin’ forward to what you have next!👍🏻❤️😷
Thank you so much for your videos, you are such an amazing artisty and teacher Adam. I really apprecite the gifts of art knowledge you've bestowed on the puppetry community. 🙏
man! cool legally distinct frog puppet. i bet he's the host of the hit non-derivative television series 'The Smuppet Shlow' seriously though really fucking nice.
Bro!!!!!!! You are a GANGSTER!!!!! I followed your snoof puppet and got hooked....Im on my 5th full size puppet and getting ready to launch a puppet show on utube....Its soooooooo funny. Not for kids at all but you are the inspiration!!!!!!!!!!! Keep it up buddy
Love your videos and all the technical methods you are teaching! I tried one of the basic head..I’m quite happy, I will post it on Instagram tagging you!thank you!
Incredible!! Thank you for all your hard work!! Is there a tutorial for sewing the mouth to the chin and head using a sewing machine? I've tried a few times but it can't quite figure out the angle
. . . YES RUclips RECOMMENDATIONS, YES PLEASE! YES THIS IS WHAT I LOVE! Oh hi there, I have stumbled upon your channel & I am subscribing for life. The RUclips recommendations has worked out splendidly for me this day!
Adam, this looks incredible! I was just wondering if you could answer some questions I have as well? 1. How much fleece is required for this puppet? (Preferably in yards, approximations are fine) 2. Could I get a good Kermit puppet with this pattern? They aren’t urgent questions, but I would greatly appreciate a response from a professional like you!
Hey! So I'm trying to buy the pattern from your website, but it says that it encountered a serious error, and that I can't access it. Is anyone else having that same problem?
hey, how you make the head have, a more high level, because when I make my puppet the head when im using the puppet it's flat, so, how you make that the puppet don't be flat
hi adam,i ever want one video of how to make one puppet like kermit,and i say thank you for your video,maybe you can make one tutorial with free pattern to make a fraggle based on the Manhattan puppet,i wal make my diferent fraggles (one of diferent colors,hair type and the dress type)
I imagine to make it with furr and ad a fleece Tail and big roundish ears backside wit furr, frontside with fleece. Could you follow along? Than we’d have a mouse 🐭
@@PuppetNerd not this project but 1/16” kydex on a larger one would probably work well. Would be a good application for a beak too. Draw the patter and put it in the oven for a few min and it cuts with a razor very easily. Then stiffens as it cools

Do you still have that kermit puppet?
@@GodzillaKaijuGK yes I do, he means so much too me that I refuse too get rid of him.

Do you have a picture?
Glad Adam showed off the laundry detergent bottle, 'cause that's exactly what I use for mouth plates 😊
You make puppets too?
You make puppets? Can we see?
DaThings makes puppets, cool
YTP THIS
a wild DaThings appears!
I always loved that kermit type of puppet because its so expressive the way it can scrunch up its face like that.
OMG SAME the way the puppeteer makes the face really long or flat is so cool

Thank you for making this video, I saw this pattern on your website years ago and I’m super exited to see a tutorial.
I was struck with Muppet-Fever about two weeks ago and your videos rock, dude :)
At 9:26 you mention the optional sleeve pattern, I don't have that and I did download the Fried Frog pattern.
I love animal characters so patterns like this make me very happy (:

Ikr
I love you Adam, your my true inspiration
Btw hope you get better soon
This dude is such a Chad. He isn't straight up plugging his paid patterns hes recommending the free ones! So freaking cool
I loved your analogy for putting the foam arms into the fleece sleeves 😂 Giving a cat a bath sucks!
Lol. Thanks!
Oh 😹 so sorry Adam pattern is so cool
Thanks so much
sometimes I wonder if this pattern would be good for a kermit puppet
Good Very very good 👍👍 am from Egypt Ilove all your work and I have dona lot of it
Damn, just showing off how to flex like Kermit. "The eyes go on the outside of the puppet" I'm breaking this rule right now HERE WE GO
Love your videos and all the technical methods you are teaching! I tried one of the basic head..I’m quite happy, I will post it on Instagram tagging you!thank you!
I want to make one exactly like this I love it so much and I am looking forward to going through this process!
It looks like a purple version of Kermit the Frog 🐸 💜
Incredible!! Thank you for all your hard work!!
Is there a tutorial for sewing the mouth to the chin and head using a sewing machine? I've tried a few times but it can't quite figure out the angle
So adorable!
Has anybody noticed that one of the frogs in Muppets Take Manhattan has ears? 😮
Oh yeah I have noticed!
Could we get a link please, thanks!
@@zdproductions3903 muppet.fandom.com/wiki/Bill

how do you make hands like kermit the frog cus I noticed they are pretty small and thin
I am definitely using this for a kermit puppet
My eyes bugged out when Arlo showed up in the intro, is this video just destiny or something-
Hey! I made Arlo!
@@PuppetNerd this was the lore I never knew that I needed. 👀
@@thesejokesarentfunnyyetthe9522 So, this is like, Papa Arnold then
Hi I love your videos I enjoy watching them
No one could make a puppet like how Jim made me
It's not easy being... purple.
No its not easy being green lol
@@HitToyCompany If I were green I would be sued by Disney!
i want to hear that song
Are there any alternatives to the spray adhesive for the mouth plate? Something that’s more easy to come by?
Contact cement will work.
Adam, this looks incredible! I was just wondering if you could answer some questions I have as well?
1. How much fleece is required for this puppet?
(Preferably in yards, approximations are fine)
2. Could I get a good Kermit puppet with this pattern?
They aren’t urgent questions, but I would greatly appreciate a response from a professional like you!
Thanks for sharing this
Awesome!
I have this one half way built and it looks a little off. But I will get more practice!
I hope to one day design my own and start a business.
Hello do you still have the pattern on you, the website is no longer up, and I really want to build this, could you help?
Oh so that's how Kermit the frog puppet works
I always thought that Kermit's head is made out of foam
Thanks Adam Kreutinger😁😁👍👍
Adam: How to make a frog puppet!
Everybody in the back of their minds: Kermit?
Speaking of which how is Kermit doing fozzie
Skin Kermit.
Can we make a hollow ping pong ball an eye for this kind of puppet? I just think how I can montage the eye ball except for the screwing technique!?
Hey! So I'm trying to buy the pattern from your website, but it says that it encountered a serious error, and that I can't access it. Is anyone else having that same problem?
It should be fixed now. Sorry. There was maintenance being done on the website.
@@PuppetNerd oh shoot! Thank you so much! Love all your work. 🙌
I just realized arlo is in the theme song. Did you make the arlo puppet?
Yes. He said he did
@@GodzillaKaijuGK I mean I assumed he did because it's in the theme, but just wanted to make sure. Thanks!
Adam I have a question, where is (1:02) the pattern you used in the video? I need a link.
Great video! Thanks!
Yeeeeeeeesssssss I’ve been waiting for this for forever
I really love your puppets here! They look just like Jim Henson's styled puppets! 😁
For the mouth plate, if you don’t have plastic stuff like that, can you use cardboard?
you can
Can you use sharpie for the puples?
omg i have been waiting since like last Febuary! FINALLY
I wanted a tutorial of this i love you'r videos
How were you playing the puppet like from the Bottom or like from the back
my man
is dope Man
nice video EVER!
Please can you help please where to buy antron fleece 😅
hey, how you make the head have, a more high level, because when I make my puppet the head when im using the puppet it's flat, so, how you make that the puppet don't be flat
you copy the fleece pattern out of foam and add in the foam
@@brickplank_films5189 thanks, I have to make 2 puppets to make right the high level, because the foam make the puppet move weird
@@JustaMisu its kind of difficult to add in the foam you can enlarge the fleece pattern 1/8 larger and use half inch foam
@@brickplank_films5189 thanks, I found a different way to make it, build a small puppet to make my hand just make the right high level
OMG I have been Asking this for YEARS
I used this pattern to make a Kermit the frog puppet. Also is camp puppet ever coming back? I would LOVE to join
What material did you use for him?
I will.make him brown and ask people on the street if they had Wilkins Coffee
I had a stroke reading this
@@lionstudios.e-o.7382 Strange things seem to happen to people who don't drink Wilkins!
Lol
and then shoot them if they say no
@@dripnx6381 *BANG* This has been a public service announcement.
What kind of foam is that?
I'm gonna make a kermit puppet out of this, thanks puppet Nerd!
What format paper do you recommend to print out your pattern?
8.5 by 11
@@PuppetNerd okay thank you very much
I love your videos
where can I find the drawing of Kermit's model (Caco) for me to make the puppet doll?
How do you wrap a full eye to get eye lids on a full doll head? Very cool
What are the measurements for the puppet pattern ?
hi adam,i ever want one video of how to make one puppet like kermit,and i say thank you for your video,maybe you can make one tutorial with free pattern to make a fraggle based on the Manhattan puppet,i wal make my diferent fraggles (one of diferent colors,hair type and the dress type)
Are you selling different muppets like fozzie or gonzo
Just stumbled upon your channel. Nice work!
Thabks for stopping by!
That's awesome and easy!!! ❤
I imagine to make it with furr and ad a fleece Tail and big roundish ears backside wit furr, frontside with fleece. Could you follow along? Than we’d have a mouse 🐭
Kydex is a cheap sheet plastic thats easily heated to bend or mold. Lots of holster are made from it.
Where would you see that used in this build? It’s a little stiff to use for the mouth.
@@PuppetNerd not this project but 1/16” kydex on a larger one would probably work well. Would be a good application for a beak too. Draw the patter and put it in the oven for a few min and it cuts with a razor very easily. Then stiffens as it cools
i love frog puppets
I.m love puppetys 🎭
Is this a good starting pattern for making a Kermit replica?
yes, but you will need to make small changes
Amazing!!
Hands down all puns are intended. 😁😁😁🙊🙉🙈
I can only print the snoof puppet pattern
Hey Adam do you are you gonna make a video of how to do eyelids for this type of puppet
